The reason is basically that the enterprise version needs some
features that smart doesn't have.
The most important one is the handling of "patches", i.e. groups
of rpms. We need a way to make it possible for the admin to
select/deselect such patches, e.g. when he decides that the patch
is too unsafe for his critical application.
Tools like smare just look at single rpms and check if a newer
version is available or not. This is not enough for the enterprise.
Btw, zmd/rug is not a new thing, it is based on the red carpet
system. What's new is the libzypp library.
Cheers,
Michael.
